Re: Who makes Cabela\'s Alaskan scoopes?

They are made by a Japanese optics company. I don't know the exact name of the company. Some on the net say its Simmons or Tasco, wrong, neither of them are Japanese. They are located in the Phillipines and Korea.

I have had an Alaskan Guide for a quite a while now on my 300 Wby Mag. It has not moved zero in over 4 years. I take it out once a year and it will still print a tiny group in the same place it always has. Mine is the 4.5-14x44mm scope.

I put another AG scope on a custom 300 RUM. It was the 6.5-20x44 though. I shot a few rounds from that gun at 400 yards and it worked flawlessly. Its on my buddies elk gun.

I have heard a lot of horror storries about the Pine Ridge scopes though. I would not put them on anything with stout recoil. The Alaskan Guide on the other hand, I highly recommend.

I am not suprised they would not tell you. I need a new vital for my 3d deer, that they no longer carry. The would not tell me who made it. That was my first dissapointing encounter with Cabelas, and I will never by another Cabelas 3d target from them because of it.....
